The standardization of threads for miniature fastening screws and similar purposes has been under study since 1927, when the National Screw Thread commission prepared a compilation of the practices of American manufacturers and various foreign standards. The latter includedthe Swiss standard NHS 56100, whichfirst appeared in 1923. However, for was taken in the United States until 1943, want of sufficient interest, no further action when the demands of modem warfare awakened both the need for domestic standardization and the desirability of international standardization, particularly among the inch-using countries. For the consideration of this dual problem, together with other threadmatters confined principally to the instrument industry, the American Standards Association established, in 1944, ASAWar Committee B1.7on Instrument Screw Threads. The first significant progress toward standardization andunification of miniature threads was achieved at the American-British-Canadian Conference on the Unification of Engineering Standards held in Ottawa in 1945, when the delegations of these three countries joined in recommending the adoption of the NHS thread series in the size range of 0.30 mmto 0.90 mm having a 50 degthread angle, andthe development of a series closely following the NHS series for sizes larger than 0.90 mm with a 60 deg threadangle. In June 1946 the War Committee was converted to Subcommittee No. 4 on Instrument Screw Threads of ASME Sectional Committee B1, Shortly thereafter it waslearnedthat Swiss manufacturers werenot adhering entirely to NHS 56100, butthatthe 60 deg thread angle made essentially in accordance with the Unified Thread Form was being widely used for the sizes below 1 mm. From this information and the results of subsequent experimental work by watch and instrument manufacturers both here and abroad, there developed a consensus favoring the 60 deg thread angle for all sizes. At a meeting in June 1952 of Technical Committee No. 1, Screw Threads, of the International Organization for Standardization, a diameter-pitch series covering therange from 0.25 mm to 1.40 mm was adopted for recommendation to allnational standardizing bodies. The Committee also agreedthat further studies should bemaderegardingtheuse of the IS0 BasicProfile (or Unified Thread Form) in this range. In the United States, where subsequent studies revealed no need, either current or anticipated, for sizes below 0.30 mm,itwas established that the 60 deg angle for all sizes was feasible. It was also determined thattheminor diameter of internal threads must b e , andinvariablyis,kept above the minimumvalue established by the Unified Thread Form toavoid excessive tapping difficulties. From this conclusion andthe calculation problems presented by the need for dimensioning this Standard in both metric and inch units, a simple plan evolved basedonthe coefficient of 0.52 in place of 0.54127 for basicthread height. These findings resulted in the formulation of the following recommendations by Subcommittee No. 4. for the American standard: ( a ) that the series consist of all sizes from 0.30 mm to 1.400 mm in the IS0 recommendation; (b) thatthe 60 deg thread angle be adopted over the entire range; ( c ) that the design thread forms bebasedonthesimplifiedvalue of 0.52P, instead of 0.54127P, for thebasicthread height.

applied over the entire range. American sentiment wasstrongly in favor of thesimplified coefficients for the thread sizes 1.400 mm and below, and the previous issue of this Standard was formulated to incorporate the original Americanrecommendation on thread height. Despite this deviation, complete interchangeability with product made to I S 0 recommendation No. 84 was regarded as a certainty in view of commonpractice on internal threads. entirely of national origin, as recommendations Tolerances given in thisStandardwere on thisphase had not yetbeen formulated by other bodies. A preliminary draft of this Standard, approved by Subcommittee No. 4 on June 12, 1956, was distributed to industry for comment and criticism in October 1956. This draft was then revised and submitted to the Sectional Committee B1 for letter ballot in April 1957. In response to comments receivedwiththe letter ballot, the draft was further modifiedat a meeting of Subcommittee No. 4 on March 6, 1958. Following the acceptance of these modifications by the Sectional Committee, theproposalwas submitted toand approved by the sponsor organizations andASA.andwas formally designated as an American Standard on August 18, 1958. This Standard remained virtually unchanged from 1958 to 1995, while the use of miniature threads diminished considerably due to electronic components, replacing many of the mechanical devices used in watchesand instrumentation. There still remains, however, an in spacecrafts and aircrafts, as components are active use of miniature screw threads miniaturized for weight considerations. Attempts weremade to revise the Standard between 1979 and 1983, butunresolved negative votes defeated the proposed revisions. Efforts to revisethe Standard wereundertakenagain in 1989. The current Standard now has a thread height of 0.554H (0.48P), whichis in agreement with FED-STD-H28/5 and ISO/R1501, and which allows for interchangeability with threads producedtothe previous standardASA BI. 10-1958. The dimensions and symbology are in line with current screw thread practices. This revision of Unified Miniature Screw Threads lists all dimensions in metricunits.Inch conversions of thesevalueshavebeenplaced in the Appendix Section of this Standard. ASME B1.10M-1997 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on July 11. 1997.

1.2 Unified Miniature Screw Thread Standards The fourteen sizes published in thisStandardwere endorsed by the American-British-Canadian conference of April 1955 as the basis of the unified standard among inch-using countries, and to correspond with the range of sizes in the ISO. The sizes are shown in Table 4. In interest of standardization and where design permits, selection of size shouldbeconfined to those indicated in bold type in Table 4. For more restrictive conditions, those sizes indicated in regular type in Table 4 maybe used. 1.3 Designation Unified Miniature Thread sizes of this series shall be designated on engineering drawings, in specifications, and on tools and gages (space permitting) by their nominal diameter in hundredths of a millimeter followed by the symbolUNM (e.g., 0.80 UNM). On internal threads, the full limits of minor diameter, as given in Table 6, shall normally be considered applicable. Where this is notpermissible, the designation shall be supplemented by theminor diameter limits. 1.4 Reference Documents The latest issues of the following documents form a part of this Standard tothe extent specified herein.

1.5.1 Additional recommended methods for determining the acceptability of miniature screw threads will be included as further experience with this thread standard is reported. Untilsuch time, agreements must be reached between purchaser and vendor regarding the basis for determining acceptance, since practices are likely to differ considerably, particularly for external threads. Where a free choice is possible, the procedures given below, which are beingusedwith considerable success by some producers, are suggested. 1.5.2External Threads. The major diameter of the external thread is measured by either contact gaging, optical projection, or laser inspection equipment. All other dimensions, suchaspitch diameter, lead,thread form, and minor diameter maybe inspected by optical projection methods, with a magnification of lOOX recommended. A suggested chart for this method is shown in Appendix A. The thread plug gages and the tap are inspected in a similar manner to externally threaded parts. Contact gaging, suchastheuse of GO and NOT GO ring gages, measuring wires, and set plug gages may beused for sizes 0.70 UNM and above. 1.5.3 Internal Threads. The minor diameter of the intemal thread is gaged with GO and NOT GO plain cylindrical plug gages. All other elements are checked only for assemble-ability limits by means of a GO threadplug gage, taking extreme care not to damage the thread. For the minimum material limits of the internal threads, theaccuracyand performance

of the tap is relied upon. This implies that the major and pitch diameters of the tap do not exceed the maximum internal thread limits for these elements, and disregards over cutting, which is rarely incurred because of theflexibility of these smalltapsandthemanner in whichthey are generally fluted. Itisrecommendedthattheminor diameter of the internal thread be gaged with one insertion of the NOT GO plain cylindrical plug gage first. The NOT GO plain cylindrical plug gage shall be inserted only until it meetssomeresistance. The minor diameter isthen gaged withonlyone insertion of theplain cylindrical plug gage per thread, as the act of gaging canwear thethread oversize. At this point, the minor diameter is considered to be acceptable. The thread is gaged with only one insertion of the GO thread plug gage. The thread is accepted or rejected on the basis of this one insertion. Repeat insertions can wear oddamage the thread.

ity with products made to the 1958 revision of this Standard showing 0.52P. As the resulting difference is negligible and completely offset by practical considerations in tapping, full internal thread heights are avoided in thesesmall sizes to escape excessive tap breakage. For reference, the basic profile for UNM screw threads is identical tothat for IS0 metric threads in ISO/R1501. 2.3 Design Profiles The design profiles define the maximum material conditions for the external and internal unified miniature thread as shown in Fig. 2. These forms are derived from the basic profile shown in Fig. I by the application of clearances for the crests of the addendum at the roots of the mating dedendum forms, and thereby satisfy the practical consideration that the contact between the mating pair be limited to functional surfaces of the fasteners. 2.3.1 Practically speaking, product madetotherequirements of this Standard will be interchangeable with product madetoany other standards allowing a maximum depth of engagement (or combined addendum height) of 0.5548. Internal thread heights exceeding 0.5548 should be avoided in the small thread sizes in order to avoid excessive tap breakage. 2.3.2 Formulas for the various dimensions are given in both Fig. 2 and Table 1. Values of the various dimensions for all pitches are given in Table 2. 2.4 Lead All threads are of the single (single start) type.

1.5.5 Units of Measure. All dimensions in this Standard, including all tables, are in millimeters unless otherwise specified. Inch conversions maybefound in Appendices B, C , andD.

The basic profile for the UNM screw threads is shown in Fig. 1 (profile applies to the axial plane), and except for one element is the Unified Basic Thread Form. The exception is the height of thread engagement for which the basic value is 0.5548. The basic thread height of 0.5548 (0.48P) will not affect interchangeabilThis Standard establishes only one class of thread, with zero allowance on all diameters, in viewofthe manufacturing difficulties which any differentiations in tolerance would impose and because there is no demonstrated need for additional classes.

APPENDIX A GAGES AND GAGING FOR UNIFIED MINIATURE SCREW THREADS


(This Appendix is not part of ASME B1.10M-1997 and is included for information only.)

The establishment of specifications for gages for Unified Miniature Screw Threads is not within the document. However, in the absence of scope of this a gage standard, the development of which is awaiting theaccumulation of more experience with this thread standard, there is presented below, i n Fig. A l , an illustration of a chart which has been found very satisfactory for the optical projection method of inspection of external threads. Inspection at amagnification of lOOX isrecommended and atthisscalethe charts should be accurate to within +0.01 in. on all diameters and on pitchescumulatively up to fivepitches.
